Short Break

We took our kids and grand-kids to Mark Twain Lake in Missouri for a 3 day mini vacation.  We had stayed at Timber Ridge Resort fourteen years ago on our big family vacation.  They still remembered us (in a good way!), especially the oldest farmer.  They still have our family picture posted on their website.  D#1 brought me a popcorn cake as a gift!  It was a very hot weekend, but we had air conditioning and water, and lots of good food, so it was a good time.  We stopped in Taylor for church on our way home Sunday, and though is was a very small group, we enjoyed the fellowship.  We have lots of long term relationships and memories there.

Escape room game.

Some Grandma time.

Lining up the equipment.

We were able to get the wheat harvested after we got home.  We also got our double crop soybeans in right behind the wheat, and the straw baled.  The road was looking much worse for the wear, as the truck and equipment tires picked up the tar because of the heat. 
I had a coyote watch me off and on one afternoon.

Fourth of July evening sky as I was putting equipment away.

D#2 brought me a coconut cream pie one day this week.  Life is good.

I had to drive to Kewanee for some feed auger parts one day last week.  I took our van and was able to catch these pictures as the odometer turned.  Hopefully, we can get a couple more years out of the van.

This past weekend we had a reprieve from the heat and humidity, but we are now back to three shirt days.
